Hi Families,
It
was so nice to see everyone who came out for the pancake breakfast. It
was a fun event. One of our classmates won the children's raffle! I
also wanted to update you on some exciting things happening in
kindergarten. First, we have begun planting. Meghan Martin from the
Farm to School program came over from the high school and helped us plant seeds. We planted cucumbers, herbs, spinach, pumpkins,
tomatoes, squash and much more. We currently have them in our classroom
grow lab. Ms. Gentley will continue this study of what plants need to survive
as she will begin her solo weeks on Monday. She and I have been talking
to the students about this.
Along with some exciting science activities,
we have also been working on a very popular writing unit. The students
are doing opinion writing. As we talked about at conference time, we made
mini posters, wrote letters, and just completed some petitions. We had
our second grade learning buddies come in to see if our petitions were
convincing enough for them to sign! Please enjoy the pictures of both our
planting and our writing unit at the bottom of this post.
